Thanks Irv, that works a treat.

It looks very impressive on XP.  I'll try it on Win98 tonight.
There are still a few sample programs that request specific fonts 
that show error messages ... 
but I doubt (?) it would be easy to find fonts that work on 
everyone's PC (and you have to sometimes specify particular fonts to
demonstrate font usage).

Also some of the demo programs look for graphics in hard coded 
directories.  It doesn't bother me, but others may be confused why
so images don't display.

Keep up the great work.
